If the little girls said they want to, and Teresa does that for them until they want to stop doing them, its not a problem.

I love what somebody at Television Without Pity said about Milania:

"They need to check her scalp for the Mark of the Beast."

Old picture. You can definitely tell Gia and Milania are sisters. I'm searching hard to figure who Gabriella resembles.

Can you just imagine Teresa, Gabriella and Milania on Toddlers & Tiaras!! Now that would be a can't miss episode! I think Gabriella looks like Joe's Mom (Filomena) and his sister. I think she's only one who looks like his family. The other girls look like T.

I see a lot of Joe in Milania, particularly in the cheeks.

I feel like out of the three of them Gabriella is the least diva. I'm surprised Gia doesn't want to do pageants, but she is really focused on modeling/acting (or was, we haven't seen much of that the past two seasons) so that makes sense.

Gia did do pageants, but it was before the show started.

She has been the honest one all this time, and doesn't mind telling Teresa, "Alright, let's get real ... and stop with the fake stuff ..." because it's Teresa who wants to hold grudges.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1bmg...mbedded#at=380 at about 6:00 you see Melissa be really genuine about wanting T and J to be happy and loving again. I agree with her. She gets on my nerves sometimes and I love T, but she is so right on this one.

LOL!!!! I wanted to be an astronaut when I was seven, and if Joe suddenly built me a rocket ship in our backyard, I think people would be a little shocked. I was a little shocked.


Okay this makes it easier to understand T's behavior

I read the blogs and that's why I have a hard time believing Melissa. From the first episode, everytime she interviewed, she (and Kathy) spent their time trashing Teresa nonstop. It seems like her & Kathy got on the show and spent the majority of their time talking about Teresa & her family. Don't get me wrong. I'm not "Team Teresa" b/c most of the time, she irritates me but I admit I'm similar to her in that when people spend their time trashing me or talking crap, I have a hard time forgiving and forgetting. To me, Melissa & Kathy showed their true colors in the beginning of the show and I feel like they're doing "damage control" to their reputations by trying to shift the blame on Teresa for all the family problems.

Maybe it's just me but I think Gabriella (and the baby...for now) looks like Joe and members of his family (see his mom who also has light hair) while the other girls look like Teresa and her family.

And this is the problem I have with Kathy and Melissa. They want to play so innocent when they do as much trash talking as teresa, even more when they're together and around Melissa's sisters. So I have a hard time believing she's genuine as well although I do see her trying more than Teresa does. Teresa is just more real about her feelings. And I've noticed that Melissa throws digs at Teresa too so it's not just Teresa.

Also, no matter how much you're family is going through, how can you let outside people like Kim G and her lawyer friend who's suing Teresa and Joe, say anything bad and talk crap about your family? Melissa and Kathy are wrong for that. I can talk about my family members but no one else is going to in front of me, especially not strangers.

THIS!!! Is the a damn like button around here? Lol! The fact that Melissa & Kathy have no problems letting their own siblings, friends and strangers talk crap about a member of their family is wrong. Also, remember the episode at Posche where Melissa stood idly by & even laughed when the other Kim and some other ladies (don't remember who else was there) talk crap about Teresa? Yeah, not cool.

My own hubby does NOT like or get along with one of my sisters. Frankly, he can't stand her but he knows damn well not to talk crap about her in front of me. Regardless of our issues, she's still my sister and I'll defend her even when it's my hubby who has the problem with her.

Go figure ... ) She's a beautiful girl and seemed to have a difficult childhood in terms of her health. You certainly wouldn't know that now, because she has blossomed out. I loved how protective her father showed himself to be at the party (when he went up on the older guy trying to talk to her ... "Hey, take a walk!"). LOL!! I just love Kathy's family!

Gabriella and Audriana look alike.

LikeASista-- who are you talking about? Lol you went from Gabriella to talking about Kathy's daughter.

Oooops ... This is what I get for typing when I'm half-asleep. I see that I didn't mention Victoria's name at all. I was mostly talking about Kathy's daughter, Victoria, but I got the names confused. Sorry ...
